Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Live is built as a living composition, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Van Gils is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.

In the first seconds you detect radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Grapefruit and Orange. Exactly these 2 notes set a sensation of cool purity that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.

When the opening settles you meet Patchouli and Vetiver holding a structural woody direction. In the final layer the composition is fixed through Leather accord, Oud and Vanilla, shaping a smoky suede trail.

The profile is masculine, which clarifies the composition character. For persistence High suggests confident staying power. In trail behavior Noticeable defines the projection profile in space.

At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Wood, Leather and Gourmet. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to East and Wood.

In summary Live holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
